Favorite Turkey Burgers

I love to indulge on holidays. But this is one burger that is in rotation around our household. I had been anti-ground turkey till this recipe changed my mind. They are full of flavor and do not really need much in the way of condiments. Andy likes to just put a slab of tomato on it normally but for the little gathering with my family yesterday, we melted sliced Gruyere on it and topped it with sauteed onion.

The recipe uses a grill but you can do it on a pan just fine.

Happy Independence Day!

Favorite Turkey Burgers
From: Cheap Healthy Good

1-1/2 pounds ground turkey (93 percent lean)
1/2 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese
4 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup dried breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Vegetable oil, for grates (if grilling)

1) Preheat grill (high heat).

2) In a medium bowl, mix turkey, Gruyere, scallions, breadcrumbs, mustard, and garlic with a fork. Season with lots of salt and pepper. With your hands, mold meat into 6 burgers, each about 1-inch thick.

3) "Lightly oil the grill." Sear burgers over hottest part, about 1 or 2 minutes each side, until browned. Transfer burgers to a less-hot section of the grill and keep cooking until done. This could take anywhere from 5 to 10 minutes on each side, depending on how hot your grill is. Keep an eye on it.
